Bug Description

Make it easy for new users to use the juju gui without dropping to he command line, create a desktop file for Juju Quickstart so it adds it to the launcher, and users can find it in the unity dash.

A second request, is that when running the desktop quickstart juju-quickstart should be "smart enough" to know if the environment is already up and running so it qill run quickstart -e (i.e. if you were to click on it a second time, it just launches a broswer window logging you into juju-gui).

The second request is important because if you don't click "proceed" soon enough the token times out and the "new user" will have to drop to the command line and run juju-quickstart -e... better for the desktop file to just do this for you.

This one is interesting. We'd never considered a desktop file for quickstart. Thanks for the report and idea.
